Gita's 'Fishbowl' Tea Cosy

My lovely friend Gita enjoys herbal tea while she's working. She makes her infusion in one of those glass teapots made by Bodum - you know, the ones that look like a goldfish bowl! So that the tea stays hot until the last drop, she asked me to make a cosy for the pot. In particular she wanted to be able to pour her cuppa without having to remove the pot from the cosy.

I chose a bamboo/wool yarn, that I'd bought in Denmark, held double in a honeycomb brioche stitch for a nice thick insulating layer, and combined two patterns for a top-loading cosy with an integrated base:
